Rivers:
Ran-One of the main rivers, close to Ran and Amaral. Widest river in Volatia. Almost a third of a mile wide. Starts in Mountains of Mullonia.
Hildrin-The longest river in Arthanica. About 150 miles long, dumping into Lake Moon and Yamana Ocean
Wallow-This river is known by name because of the massacre that happened in an old city on its shores. The massacre consisted of over a thousand people dying, the attack forced on by the soldiers of Vandal. Goes through heart of Forest of Treachery.
Jynx- River named because of its treacherous waters. At the dumpout point, there lies a nest of Sirens.
Yamar- Dumps into Masa Ocean and Lake Isul
Callin- Shortest river in Arthanica, measuring about 30 miles. Dumps into Kanbo Ocean and Lake Serenity. Goes through east side of Serenity Forest, and holds city Salin
Hina-The Hina is a more isolated river. Nobody ever really wants to ride it unless they are heading for Lunar. Dumps into Kanbo Ocean and Lake Moon.
Lakes:
Tetra Lakes
Moon: Lake moon is named for its cresent moon shape. It's waters also seem to glow silver in the light of the full moon. There are several spots dedicated for romance along this lake.Cities Kylan and Lunar border this lake. Rivers Hildrin and Hina dump into it. Second-largest lake
Aquar: The less-popular lake, the cursed River Jynx starts in this lake. It's waters are muddy and restless, so only the city Aquaris dares to rest along its shores. Prone to flooding, the city has to make proper defenses. This lake is also the smallest lake.
Izul: The largest of the lakes, Izul is very popular for trading because of its calm waters and access to all other lakes.Cities that lie along it include Kytan, Maba, Transil, and Yamas. Yamas is the largest of the cities, Kytan is the smallest.
Serenity: This is the second-smallest lake, but its waters are the calmest on the continent. It is on the southeast side of Serenity Forest, River Callin dumps into it, and Salin is on its shores. This lake is also a spot for romance, but its not nearly as popular as Lake Moon.
Seas:
Ran: The only sea in Volatia. Port Lithica borders it, and it's known for it's turquiose waters.
Oceans:
Masa: River Yamar dumps into it. Masa is known for its unusually warm waters, and many reefs. Smallest ocean.
Yamana: The largest ocean, it's known for it's abundant fish and pirates. It's waters are fairly calm. River Hildrin dumps into it, and Yamana and Hildrin border it.
Kanbo: The second-smallest ocean, it's known for the many icebergs in the fall and winter. Seals and whales like to come to this ocean. Winscon is the only major city, kept alive by the seal hunting. River Hina and River Callin dump into it.
Bullrun: Rivers Wallow and Jynx dump into this rough ocean. The waters are dark and many say that there are monsters in the waters. Some even talk about a hidden city.
Forests:
Serenity: This forest is home to the elves of the land. It's very calm and quiet, and it's forbidden to cut down any of the trees, thus creating the largest forest. Cities in this forest include Tarun and Selenia. Both cities are in the treetops, so that no trees had to be cut down to build the houses.
Treachery: This forest is known for the group of assassins that live in it. It only holds one major city, Vandal, and that is where all the future assassins train. Nobody goes in and then out alive unless they plan on joining the assassins, and even that is a small chance. Some say the forest is haunted with ghosts of people killed, and the trees' bark is stained with blood. Frin Ruins are in this forest, and River Wallow runs through the heart.
Wisp: Smallest forest in Volatia, but it has much game for hunters.
Mountains:
Mullonia: This mountain range is the largest in Arthanica. The only major city in this range is Mullonia, a city of magic. Many wizards and monks come here to study ancient magics. The mountains themselves are rumored to hold a hoarde of dragons. River Ran starts in these mountains.
Mountains of Yamana: A small mountain range behind Yamana, rich in coal. Provides a defense and weapon-supply for Yamana.
Mount Anral: A lone mountain in the middle of the continent. Holds Anrathia and the Cities.
Desert:
Xan: The only desert on Arthanica, this hot area is home to many Indian tribes. It only holds two major cities, Baylar and Calor.
